Informed Consent in Kidney Care

Informed consent in kidney care is the process where healthcare providers ensure patients understand their diagnosis, treatment options, risks, and benefits before agreeing to any procedure or treatment. It involves clear communication, allowing patients to ask questions and express their preferences. This empowers patients to make educated decisions about their care, respecting their values and wishes. It’s about building a trusting relationship where patients feel confident and informed about the choices regarding their kidney health.
